shoulda pinched her before i took pick on board but i was in crazy mode. wanted girth too, but after good pics we decided it was best to get her back safely.

Hell of a fish!!! I also can only see 49.5" not 50"????? Either way great fish but why put a measurement picture up if its not correct? Im saying I would have showed 50" measurement instead of 49.5"! But way to go your on a roll!

ill report her as 49.5 as long i know i got lucky enough to hit two fish of a lifetime in a week.

Great accomplishment this week Cullen.

Two bruisers is something to be proud of.

As Adam stated 50 is just a number.

IMO you did it the right way for accuracy purposes by using the bumpboard, kuddos for that, lots of bumpboard haters out there but for an accurate measurement the only way to go.

The floating ruler crowd probably would have called her a 51 in a heartbeat.

I talked to Cullen right after they released this beast. You could hear how excited him and Dan both were as they told the story about how when Dan pinched the tail and swung it down It hit the red perfectly in the board. "are u seeing this right now!" I believe thats what dan waas screaming at cullen as he pinched the tail to 50 to make sure he saw it. No rounding up involved, sick fish. and ask cullen how i would of felt if my 47 would of finished on top this season. I thought it would have been a disgrace, because this fishery is capable of so much more.

also look at the fish due to the gut its sitting on the board at a slant. straighten that fish out 50 all day. the reason i even posted the pic was to be legit...ive seen alot of 50's claimed that quite frankly i dont believe are. i guess my fault...just wanted to share an amazing river fish.
